Shades: A deep, cool palette built on midnight navy and forest green, giving the tartan a rich, subdued base. These tones are accented with muted scarlet red overstripes and charcoal black undertones. The colours are dark and saturated, typical of modern dyeing, producing a strong, understated appearance.

Design: A modern rendering of the Baird sett, built around alternating navy and green blocks crossed by fine red stripes. The structure follows the long‑established Baird layout, traditionally simple and dark, with red providing the defining contrast. Modern dyes intensify the base colours, giving this version greater depth while maintaining the sett’s characteristic restraint and clarity.

Overall: A subtle, dignified tartan with a quiet strength. Baird Modern’s deep tones and refined striping make it ideal for formal wear and accessories that call for a classic, understated look. Its balanced geometry and rich colouring preserve the Baird identity in a polished modern form.
